Anyone looking for an immediate morning pick-me-up should try and discover they’ve won division one in Gold Lotto, according to a happy Mount Gravatt man.
The Brisbane resident scored one of the six division one wins nationally in Monday & Wednesday Gold Lotto draw 3914, on Monday 21 October 2019. The division one prize was $666,666.67.
The winner was hard at work this morning when a Golden Casket official broke the division one winning news to him.
“Thank you very much. That is unbelievable. It’s bloody awesome,” he exclaimed.
“I’m a bit shell shocked! It’s not a bad thing, that’s for sure.
“I always have an entry in Gold Lotto, but to tell you the truth, I’ve been playing these numbers for so long I can’t remember how I came up with them.
“I’ve won bits and pieces in the past, but the most I’ve won previously is about $60. This is just unbelievable.
“I came in expecting another day of work, but I must admit I’m finding it hard to concentrate at work today.
“It’s a wonderful way to start the day!”
When asked how he might use his Gold Lotto bounty, the man said some decisions had yet to be made.
“I feel like I’m in a bit of a daze,” he explained.
“There’s so many options and they’re all sort of rolling around in my head at the moment. Now that I’ve got it, what do I do with it? There’s no shortage of ideas, let’s put it that way.
“There will definitely be a treat like a holiday in there somewhere. There will be a bit of that going on.”
The happy winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his winning 4-game marked entry at Sunshine News, Shop 15, Mt Gravatt Plaza, 55 Creek Road, Mount Gravatt.
Sunshine News owner Sharon Jiang said she was thrilled her outlet had sold another division one winning entry.
“It’s very good! I’m very happy!” she exclaimed.
“This is the twelfth time we’ve sold a division one winning entry and we’ve also sold a few division two winning entries this year as well.
“We feel like a very lucky store! We are very lucky for our customers which makes us feel lucky too!
“We are so happy for our winner. We hope they enjoy their prize!”
